Social media users are sharing a fabricated CNN screenshot that claims Russian officials have ordered a DNA test for U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner. The text in the screenshot does not match the usual font used by CNN, visible (www.cnn.com/videos). No such article or video with the text exists on the CNN website or social media accounts (here), (twitter.com/CNN), (twitter.com/cnnbrk), (twitter.com/cnni). I’ve heard, ‘Oh, she’s not a female, she’s a male.’ I’ve been told, ‘Oh, she’s tucking stuff.’ They thought I was tucking. A screenshot showing a CNN story about Brittney Griner has been fabricated.
